DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

Dawn what is that calculation you use again for weight loss. I felt like I wasnt eating enough with the WW points..I want to analyze everything this week using strictly calories on the dailyplate. so I can zone in on what I am doing right or wrong.

I am going to detail a journal of calories in and calories out for this week to see what I am doing right and wrong

goal weight x 12 = daily calorie intake

i.e., my goal weight is 130 pounds. so 130 x 12 = 1560. i try to keep my calories around 1500/day.

yup!! we got one back in August i believe!! They are wonderful and from Maine..my friend had them at her wedding and they took the most amazing photographs!! I suppose since we couldn't have you Lynda..we settled for them

Oh, exciting! I can't wait to see those pics! I hate to see you settle! But I'm sure you'll have beautiful pictures!

I think it's 12 x goal weight = calories per day. So if I want to weigh 160, I'd need 1920 calories per day (12 x 160). (Although I usually eat more like 1600 - 1800 and cheat a bit one day out of the week.)

Laura not sure if I read properly but your lfying out of White PLains, well I am too in June booked a room at LaQuinta they have a shuttle and 6 dollars a day for they vehicle left behind. ITs around 150 for the 3 of us breakfast also and a nice pool as well.

Our plan was to fly out of White Plains, yes. I don't think we will stay over or anything because my plan was to leave right after the kids get out of school, they will have a 1/2 day that day so we could be on our flight by 4:00 pm. The only thing I'm thinking is that we are staying at Fort Wilderness in someone's RV (we are renting) so I think we might just give the kids an extra day off from school and go down earlier than that just so we can look at the RV in the day light.

Well, ladies, I hate to be a crybaby when others have bigger issues, but today was a carpy day and I need to vent.

Hey that's what we are here for, vent away. Sorry about DH snores although I do too and my DH has no problem sleeping on the couch if it's too bad. I have problems with a deviated septum and in the winter my nose is ALWAYS stuffed up and it's hard to breath out of my nose when sleeping. Sorry you had such a bad day.

We are meeting with a potential travel consultant this week..we are thinking either Hawaii ( which i want!) or Tahiti( i think this one will be a budget buster.)...

We went to Maui first then to Oahu. I forgot the hotels we stayed at it's been too long I think the Sheraton in Oahu but I can research it if you want.

 

[the Fidge]

Wow you folks are good and busy Sparkie WOOOO HOOOOO CONGRATS ON BABY!!!!

MA piglet - Love that dress can't wait to see yours!

Laura - sounds great am thinking of a travel trailer for some quickie weekend trips beachy or just about anything who am I kidding??

Doing better this week, I guess being busy helps take the mind off of the eats. DO know I was atttacked by the dreaded......you know.....GREEN GOBLINS....they are placing orders already and I drive a nurse who is a Mom of a green goblin and well, I just may have to toss her off!

Ok so the job thingy is looking wonderful! I am a school volunteer and the new special ed teacher is wonderful, I drive her students. Anyway, I was asked to go and fill out a application to be paid as an aide. Toook the census test for some added extra green and did real well.

Lynda - I am going to take a course in digital photography to figure out how to use my camera woooo hoooo! I can't wait till March.

Dragged the bike and glider out of the basement and parked them in the living room so I can't avoid them now, just have to have more than 5 minutes in the house to use them! Should slow down here we have snow coming. Running out the door great to hear how well everyone is and staying motivated!

Happy Tuesday!

Gina~ another You made the superstar list on the BL thread!! Congrats!

I tried to exercise today but I aggrivated my shin splints and my hip was acting up. I wanted to get in 3 miles but only managed 1.3 tonight and .3 earlier today. I hate pain. I have good food news though. DH and I went to Long John Silvers tonight and I got their new grilled dinner. I subbed an extra veggie for the rice, gave the corn and breadstick to the kids and wound up with a 5 pt dinner. I've had better but I'm proud of the fact that I was able to find something heathy.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.............

 

[dwheatl]

Thanks to everyone for the hugs. Things were better yesterday and today. DH agreed to take medicine that helps him deal with the pain so we can both sleep better. Bless him.
I had the worst pseudo-Chinese dinner tonight from Nutrisystem (most of the food has been pretty good). What made things difficult was that I had a late meeting to go to, and they had REAL Chinese food there. I did pass it up though, and I managed to hop on the bike for half an hour before leaving for the meeting. It's those little victories that keep us going, right?

 

[dwheatl]

double post. How did that happen? Oh well, double the chance to show off my bling.

__________________

I'm trying out this new diet The Flat Belly Diet and it has you starting with 1200 calories the first 4 days and then 1600 calories for the next 28 days.
But the key thing is you shouldn't go no more than 4 hours of not eating. Each meal must be around 400 calories and include a MUFA which is a mono-unsaturated fat. It all has to do with your metabolism. It also talks about foods to avoid that make you bloated. It's very easy to follow and so far I have lost almost all the weight I have set as a goal for the Valentines Day challenge. I have cut out all soda to from my diet and boy oh boy that has made a huge difference!

So I before I started this diet I wasn't eating enough to jump start my metabolism.

Have a great day everyone!!

ech...i hate bad food. i know alot of "diet" food isn't 4 star..but i just can't eat anything that is too fakey-horrible..i feel your pain though ..last week i had a run-in with a HORRIBLE lean cuisine...lets just say it was tossed and replaced with a cereal bar...

Laura - sounds great am thinking of a travel trailer for some quickie weekend trips beachy or just about anything who am I kidding??

I told my DH that I wanted to get a small trailer to take weekend trips to just ara campgrounds, he ain't buying it though.

Great. I wish I could get a job in one of our schools. I work one day (8 hours) at the job I had before I had DD3 (medical transcriptionist) but I really want at least 24 hours (for insurance and extra moolah) but I have to wait for someone to quit.

Good girl for skipping the "real" chinese food, that's a hard one for me to do. yeah on DH agreeing to take his medicine.

A girl scout!

 

[DisneyLaura]

A girl scout!

I have never seen that before. That's funny. Oh on yahoo news (my homepage when I sign on the computer) said they are shrinking the size of the cookies but of course not the price, due to the economy. Of course I did buy cookies to help out but I can't believe how much less of Tagalongs can come in a box. There's like only 15 in there now, and they are going to be smaller now.

 

[the Fidge]

Well I am ready to cry, I have been good but it seems my numbers are going up. I had my thyroid checked a few months ago and there is a lump but nothing to be concerned about. I am really frustrated.

 

[punkin413]

A girl scout!

don't worry, laura - i didn't know that either! kinda funny - i used to make pitchers of green apple martinis all the time and my neighbor (a guy, of course) refuses to say he's drinking a martini so he'd call them green goblins!

hang in there, fidge! we all have bad days and get discouraged. just keep on keeping on!

Try not to worry too much Fidge. I think I will be up this week too, but I'm hoping it's because of water weight. (AF is here.) Anyway, give it time. I sometimes don't start to see consistent downward movement on the scale until I've been consistent for 3 or 4 weeks, and even then I fluctuate sometimes. SO frustrating! But keep doing what you're doing, and it WILL pay off!


Oh! I'm doing a Peep assistance request. I've been working on my smugmug photo site. I've uploaded more pics and added a slideshow and a banner to the main page. I'm planning to revamp the banner tonight, but I wanted to get an idea of what it would look like when I placed one there. I'm also planning to redo my bio a bit. Anyway, if anyone is interested and has time, could you maybe go check out the site (link in my sig) and tell me what you think? I'm still working on it, but I'm trying to get it more professional looking. I have a LOT of plans for the photography business this year!

 

[the Fidge]

LYnda - I just checked it out very professional appearance! I must say I can't tell you what one I loved the best. WHen I researched photographers in the past, it was easy to decide what one's I liked the best. You have a true gift with a huge WOW factor there.

Well done for passing up the real chinese food, thats awesome willpower!

Hi Peeparoonies!

Had a great day- got a new job!! Am hoping it will keep me so busy I won't think of snacking!

And it's my birthday tomorrow so I am hoping the scales give me something else to celebrate!

Happy weigh ins tomorrow everyone!

Please don't be too down! Last week I was saintly but the scales didn't move. This week I have had a sneak early weigh in and it's looking good! So hang on in there, the scales will catch up with you eventually (in a good way of course)!
